That cannot be right. pbuilder runs debian/rules clean outside the chroot, enters the chroot, installs build-deps, unpacks the source and runs dpkg-buildpackage, which runs debian/rules build and debian/rules binary. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
